False God, false Universe

Left click to enlarge

I'm sure by now most of you have seen that Batman Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer with that scene of the Superman statue with the "False God" graffiti right? It made me think of this panel from Checkmate 24 (2008) in which Superman teams up with Checkmate in order to take down a Kobra plot. Fuck the new DCU for having some cheap Kobra knock off (Basilisk) instead of the real thing. The New DCU, a false universe.

well it's not like Kobra and Superman went mano e mano. Kobra has a lot of weapons at his disposal such as the art of deception, an army of ISIS like religious fanatic followers and even magic. plus that story arc was written by Greg Rucka so there's that to.

Nerd nitpick: Some dumbass writer decided the original honorific "naja-naja" was incorrect and changed it to "naga-naga." This was around the time of the Janus Directive crossover that ruined Suicide Squad.

For the record a *naja* is another name for a cobra and a *naga* is a stupid looking monster from D&D. So there.
